8x17's - what are my choices
 

I'm thinking about getting some 17s for daily running so I have a better ride on the sh!tty roads I travel to work and back. A bit petty, but I want to keep the look so I want 8x17s (maybe 8.5 x 17s) with and ET of 40-48 so I can run 235/45x17s and keep the arches filled.

Any ideas what my choice of wheels are as most of the 17s I've seen are 7J or 7.5J:(

Cheers

BTW, it's for a MY01 bug so 5x100 PCD:D

i have some rota 17x8 ;) :thumb:

Very generous Mags, are you throwing some free tyres too:D

What style and colour, what price, and do I get a gag for her indoors so she doesn't start going on about having too many sets of tyres:norty:

pop over and we can talk and try some on :thumb:

You can always move on any 225 45 17 my way!!

Too narrow:D

Thanks for the offer Mags but I expect new wheels to be outside my price bracket for what I want to achieve. STI-7 alloys would be ideal price-wise but on checking it seems that they are only 7.5J:(

Nice! Is your car sporting a wide arch kit now?

No mate, but with the arches rolled (and pulled slightly:norty:) I can easily fit 245's in there with the right offset on 8.5j wheels - as it is I have 235s with 12mm spacers at the rear:D
